What is the difference between a glass kiln and pottery kiln?

Can you use a pottery kiln for glass work? Fusing, slumping and painting?

A huge difference is a pottery kiln generally lets the temperature drop once the temperature is reached Pottery kilns also can get hotter than glass kilns.

A glass kiln controls the rate of cooling to anneal the glass. Annealing reduces the internal stress that can cause glass to break.

Edit: I have more access to ceramic kilns. I am talking to a friend that has a glass-kiln about doing some pieces because Of the annealing step
